TUM Extended Board of Management

The TUM Extended Board of Management is based on the principle of the kind of extended executive boards found in industry. It therefore brings together people in leadership roles on the operative level of the university. Its main role is of a strategic nature and includes the coordination of the aims of TUM’s departments and schools and the preparation of structural plans and university statutes (e.g. doctoral degree requirements).
